Zufall Health Strategic Planning Process

What is Zufall Health?

In 1990, with little seed money and a few volunteers, Dr. Robert Zufall and his wife, Kathryn, opened a small community clinic in Dover to provide medical care to low-income people and families. The retired urologist treated patients while his wife managed the clinic and doggedly pursued funding opportunities. Their tenacity for enlisting volunteers generated a core team of physicians, dentists, and support staff so they could provide a full spectrum of services.

Almost instantly, the once-a-week clinic attracted a growing patient base which, over the years, necessitated expansions of space and hours of operation. However, despite private and public support, funding for the clinic was a constant struggle. In 2004, its future was strengthened by its designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center. Renamed in 2006 to honor the Zufalls, the organization now proudly carries on their commitment in seven New Jersey counties.
